4. What is Kickboard?
Kickboard is a tool to reinforce positive behavior choices in real time.
Students earn or lose Character Currency for behavior choices throughout their day.
When a child changes classes, the next teacher and administrators can see that child’s behavior history from the day.
Kickboard shows trends in student behavior in order to receive positive and negative consequences.
Kickboard offers school-wide consistency in expectations.
Reports behavior data for staff and parents.

5. Kickboard’s Data Privacy Policy
Although we hope it goes without saying, Kickboard will only use personally identifiable information from students’ education records to enable school officials and parents to access and use Kickboard.
Your child’s personally identifiable information is encrypted in transit to and from Kickboard.
In addition, all personally identifiable information is stored on secure servers behind firewalls by our hosting providers.
Consistent with guidance from the U.S. Department of Education, all the servers used by Kickboard are located in the United States.

6. Kickboard At Our School
Kickboard will assist American Academy in streamlining a common language for all grade levels.
Character Currency will be used to monitor student behavior through positive and negative interactions.
Students will spend their Character Currency throughout the trimester on unique AA opportunities and utilize remaining currency at an AA store at the end of the trimester.
Kickboard will track elementary students progress towards earning Character Bracelets.
Give parents a quick overview of how Kickboard will be used at your school.
Maybe review what a “good” student report would include - i.e. 35 points per week or above is a good week - or describe how behaviors will be assigned in each classroom.
You may also want to review why you chose to use a point/dollar-based system for behavior

7. School-Wide Behaviors We Reinforce
AA Character

Leadership Awards
Explain categories of behaviors, point values, and school-wide expectations

8. Our School-Wide Consequences
Elementary students: Follow Behavior Contracts and the AA Consequence Matrix
Middle School Students: Follow the demerit guidelines and AA Consequence Matrix
All grades: Follow the DCSD Code of Conduct, when applicable.
Consequences can be a GOOD thing! Explain positive and negative consequence logic; things that trigger a consequence flag, like school-wide rewards.

9. Parent Communication Parent Portal for Kickboard

Informative notes throughout your student’s day.
Fill in this slide with the ways your parents will receive Kickboard information.
Will you be sending home weekly student behavior reports?
Will you be using the Parent-Student Portal so that parents can see their child’s behavior in real time?
Pro tip: some schools use Kickboard to track parent involvement, rewarding students dollars/points for parent attendance at conferences, meetings, etc.

10. Parent Portal The Kickboard Parent Portal displays:
Behavior – A summary of the student’s merit/demerit, paycheck, and bank balances, if applicable.
Most Recent Behaviors – A list of the student’s behaviors recorded, listed chronologically.
*Note: if you are not using Kickboard to track academics, those sections will still show on the parent portal with all fields blank.

Review these instructions with parents. However, they are also written out on the access letters you will hand out to parents.

12. Guiding Questions to Ask Your Child
How do you think your week went?
Are you earning more positive behaviors?
How many dollars/points are you trying to earn next week?
What is your plan to earn more dollars next week?
